Hi Ken,

Thank you!!!

The Brazilian Army (FEB) had lost 480 men killed, 2064 wounded and 34 MIAs. On the other hand, the FEB captured 20, 573 prisoners (two generals, 892 officers and 19,679 other ranks) prior to the end of the war.




"Brazil is there!!!"


The FEB made one of their main contributions to the war: the Battle of Monte Castello. The combined forces of the FEB and the American 10th Mountain Division were assigned the task of clearing Monte Belvedere of Germans and minefields. The Brazilians suffered from ambushes, machine gun nests, and heavy barrages of mortar fire.


On late February, while the battle for Monte Castello was still taking place, parts of the FEB conquered the city of Castelnuovo and, on March 5, Montese. The German mass retreat had started. In just a few days, Parma and Bologna were taken. After that, the main concern of the Allied forces in Italy was pursuing the enemy.

After capturing a large number of Germans on Collechio, the Brazilian forces were preparing to face fierce resistance at the Taro region from what was left of the retreating German army. The German troops were surrounded near Fornovo and forced to surrender. More than sixteen thousand men, including the entire 148th Wehrmacht Infantry Division, parts of the 80th Panzer division, several Italian units and more than a thousand vehicles, surrendered to the Brazilian Forces on April 28.
